A Forever Kind of Love
The American Daughters

Rhythm & Booze

Arranged in four parts–each associated with a particular Louisiana city–the poems in Rhythm & Booze trace the hardships and uncertainties, as well as the moments of unexpected sublimity, of a life lived in a continuous struggle between fresh starts and destructive old patterns.

Mirroring the music of New Orleans, Kane’s poems combine traditional form with improvisational flourishes. Rhythm & Booze charts her progress as she undertakes a number of journeys, from youth to experience, from blues bars to college classrooms, from city to country, from chaos to something approaching peace.
